Activist from environmental group Greenpeace on Wednesday submerged models of iconic buildings and structures from around the world into the Caribbean Sea in a bid to draw attention to the threats posed by rising sea levels.The sinking of these structures comes as leaders and ministers meet for UN climate talks at the Mexican beach resort of Cancun. Ministers in Cancun are seeking a package deal to set up a fund to oversee climate aid, ways to slow deforestation, steps to help poor countries adapt to climate change and a mechanism to share clean technologies such as wind and solar power. Many rich countries want emerging economies, led by fast-growing China and India, to do far more, including greater oversight of their programs to rein in greenhouse gas emissions.
